the death of the western world and the relatively free lifesytle we enjoy will be destroyed by the lefty/liberals who claim to love it - by inviting in so many people who want to destroy it and kill us.
The lefty is a dangerous beast indeed. there is much blood on the lefty hand.
Still, we'll all be sharia compliant in another 50 yrs or so. There is no country left in the world (except perhaps China) that won't be a Muslim country within 50-100 yrs.0 -

If people can't live on the wages they earn and need to be bailed out by the government couldn't you argu that it's the employers who are being subsidised.0 -

most people can live on their earning and don't need a bail out from the taxpayer.
the taxpayers money has created the high rents and hence high house prices and of course a whole mass of people who have no reason to work

UKIPs platform is basically preying on, and hyping, people's fears. It doesn't take balls to agree with UKIP, being afraid of your shadow pretty much makes you their standard voter.Having a signature removed for mentioning the removal of a previous signature.

Heard a it more on the radio.
Apparently the amount he would get in Romania is around £400.00 per year in benefits. His wages would be around £2000. So by coming the UK he will get 10 times as much.
This would be the equivalent to a Brit being offered £250,000 pa to go and live in another country and work part time.
I cannot think of any nation that would be stupid enough to do that.

They clearly can't otherwise they wouldn't need LHA or WTC and as for high rents being caused by LHA that's chicken and egg.
incorrect
LHA and WTC came first and then high prices and low wages followed.
now we are where we are, and it is difficult to go into reverse. but reverse we must

No housing benefit has been around since the 80s and is based on existing rents.

obviously by reducing the level of benefits
the last labour government made the HB rules more generous
